Salone del Mobile 2021 to commence in September

Salone del Mobile 2021 is going ahead in September 2021. A note by the fair confirms the next edition of the globally renowned furniture fair will take place between 5-10 September 2021, for a 59th edition ‘led by innovation and uniqueness.’The decision comes after Salone del Mobile president Claudito Luti resigned on April 23, 2021, following a long period of uncertainty relating to the September dates and support from the Italian government for the fair to go forward. The event was originally called off following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The note explains that after much internal debate and planning, the agreement to proceed was arrived at unanimously. It highlights the event’s strengths, its historical and symbolic values, and its important role in Italy’s economic recovery.  Special thematic exhibitions are currently being planned to showcase the important work carried out by the furniture companies over the last 18 months.  Salone del Mobile was previously held in September from 1961 through 1989 before switching to April in 1990.
